🍎 The SNP Scottish Government are expanding free school meals in South Lanarkshire
🟡 SNP Councillor John Anderson welcomed this crucial investment in our mission to end child poverty.
❌ He called out Labour’s refusal to scrap the cruel two child cap but was shut down by the administration.

And, this is despite borrowing £7.2million last year, specifically for Roads, which with the £12million in interest will actually cost the Council/South Lanarkshire residents, £19.2million 😡
⛔️ The condition of Roads in South Lanarkshire has worsened every year since Labour took office.
🚧 Council figures show that the percentage of the road network that should be considered for maintenance is continuing to increase.
Vote Labour 👉 Get Potholes

We have submitted an urgent business request to discuss Labour’s cuts to school transport at the Executive Committee meeting this morning.
We demand that Councillors have a chance to scrutinise the final details of the cuts before they are introduced - this may be the last opportunity.

Your SNP Councillors took part in today’s Education Committee holding the Labour administration to account.
🚌 We expressed our disappointment that a report on Labour’s school bus cuts with full costing was not brought to this meeting as requested by the SNP.

As Labour know, or maybe they dont, Hamilton was part of the Rutherglen & Hamilton West constituency that Katy previously stood for. Katy is an experienced, capable councillor and was Chair of Education at South Lanarkshire Council from 2017-2022. No parachute required #VoteSNP

I am devastated at the passing of Christina McKelvie MSP, Minister for Drugs and Alcohol Policy and one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met.
A force of nature, Christina enhanced the lives of all around her. My deepest sympathy to Keith, Jack and Lewis.
